Currentlywe can toggle subtitles on or off, and in appearance, chose font and size. The boxes labelled text color and background color both contain 8 choices, all white on solid black, and even assuming this might be a bug in the appearance dialog, changing the option seems to have no effect.

Not just because it stars magnetic British actor David Oyelowo, in a series he reportedly worked more than eight years to get made. But because, as a Black man who loves Westerns, I have been complaining for decades about the need for someone to make a great TV show or film about Reeves, a real person who was among the first African Americans to serve as a deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi.


Unfortunately, after watching four episodes of Bass Reeves, I fear this is not the series I have been waiting for. Because it spends so much time trying to be a Modern Western Epic, it forgets about why we watch shows like this in the first place: to see a charismatic, take-charge fighter corral the bad guys and save the day.


Oyelowo wound up teaming with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan to get Bass Reeves made, which may explain its strained attempts to build his story into an epic tale and its awkwardness around race. (Despite its success, Yellowstone's focus on validating the virtue of the white Dutton family's possession of land in the west has always made its attempts to feature Native American characters feel perfunctory.)


I've only seen four of the show's episodes, so with any luck, some of these issues will be addressed in future installments. And given how white families are centered in all the other series in Sheridan's Yellowstone-inspired TV universe, it is a pleasure to see an intact Black family at the heart of this one.


But this is just the first season of an anthology series which will go on to profile other lawmen. And its struggle to remain entertaining while also telling Reeves' complicated story shows there's still a ways to go before we get true equality in the world of heroes from the Old West.

Of all of the watches to hit the market over the past year or so, none has resulted in me receiving more emails, comments, and DMs than the Doxa Sub 200. It's a new entry-level model from the fun-loving and underappreciated Swiss dive-watch company that is easily best known for the funky and distinctive cushion case designs established by their classic Sub 300 in 1967. With the funk dialed somewhere towards a more standard volume, the Sub 200's design connects to the early '60s and the brand's days before the Sub 300 was the tool of choice for the likes of Jacques Cousteau, Dirk Pitt, and Joseph Turner.


So without further ado, here it is: The sub-$1,000 Doxa diver that mixes classic dive watch styling with a taste of Doxa's truly colorful character. For those who haven't had the product page bookmarked since it was launched, the Sub 200 is 42mm wide with a steel case, solid steel caseback, and bubble-domed sapphire crystal contributing to a 14mm thickness. Lug to lug is 45mm, the lug width is 19mm (boo), and it is offered on either a steel "beads of rice" style bracelet or a color-matched rubber strap. Water-resistant to 200 meters with a signed screw-down crown, like most Doxas, the Sub 200 comes in your choice of several colors.


Doxa has specific names for their dial colors, including "Sharkhunter" (black), "Searambler" (silver), "Caribbean" (mid-tone blue), "Divingstar" (yellow), "Aquamarine" (turquoise), and what is arguably their signature color, "Professional" (orange). Unlike many of the brand's most iconic models, which feature a steel twin-scale "no deco" bezel, the Sub 200 uses a black bezel insert with color-matched markings. While the orange coloring of the Sub 200 is quite a bit different than the orange coloring I've experienced on other Professional Doxa models (more on that in a moment), the dial and the bezel colors are quite nicely matched (which can't be all that easy to do).


Like many (considerably) more expensive Doxa models, the Sub 200 is powered by an ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement. Being the known quantity for Swiss off-the-shelf movements, the ETA 2824-2 is becoming less and less common at this price point and, given that I have zero complaints about their use of the 2824 in either of my Sub 300 50th Anniversary models, I am happy to see the same reliable, accurate, and easily-serviced movement in a much more affordable model. Most of you who know the sub-$1,000 space can attest that while a 2824 isn't unheard of, it is becoming much more rare as competition from Miyota and Sellita has entered the market.


For the lume that is available for me to review, not unlike both of my Sub 300s, the treatment is neither especially bright nor all that long-lasting. Given the larger luminous segments of the Sub 200 design, I had hoped for more glow. This is not to say that the lume is bad, but it is an entirely casual application and certainly wouldn't keep up with luminous heavy-hitters like, for example, most dive watches from Seiko.
